I have a Sharp Muramasa mini laptop from Japan. It has no cdrom. DSL on USB works fine, except for wireless lan. The closest help I`ve been able to find on the net was for a Debian install via bootstrap to an identical laptop. The instructions are below:

To get the internal Wifi running you need the linux-wlan-ng sources and add the line

{PRISM_USB_DEVICE(0x0bb2, 0x0302, "LAN-Express USB Adapter")},

to the usb_prism_tbl[] structure in src/prism2/driver/prism2sta.c, so that the LAN-Express USB adapter is recognized. After compiling and installing the wlan-ng drivers the card is now recognized automatically if you have the hotplug package installed. You now just have to adjust /etc/wlan/wlancfg-xxxx and /etc/network/interfaces.[I]

Can this be done on DSL, perhaps thru a remaster?

Have you tried the madwifi-ng-2.4.26.uci extension?

Also take a look at DSL-N, it was madwifi in the base system.
DSL-N works on my Sharp Cursoe Based subnotebook with builtin Atheros 5212 chip.
